BP, a UK company, has just signed a deal with Iraq to produce 20 Billion Barrels of Oil. This will increase CO2 emissions by the equivalent of what the total UK CO2 emissions are by 50 percent for the duration of the contract.
Then on the same day we get told the below, are we being misled?

They're not breaking the law. We've allowed them to do what they're doing on the whole.
We need intense agriculture to keep milk and eggs as cheap as they are. My view as a realistic environmentalist and in my personal life is that we need to pay more or use less. We can't have both.
To improve the sewage infrastructure will cost millions and millions.
The bodies responsible for enforcement have seen huge government cuts
We can't have it all. |
Not breaking the law....

Why do spend time defending the indefensible?
We don't need intence agriculture as much as we need to get rid of supermarkets who rip farmers off and go back to the way it used to be with local shops and very little waste. We paid a fair price for the food with no "Multi" offers, it came in paper bags so no plaxtic pollution and we didn't need food bins because we didn't waste it.
The infrastructure will cost millions, yes lets fidcuss why the water companies have been paying massive salaries and bonuses but haven't been spening on infrastructure?
Government cuts...yes that's the problem, they spend our money on things we don't need or want like HS2 and don't spend it where it's genuinely needed. It's the same with the Senedd so what is Starmers next plan, to attack welfare spending.
Right that taxes he raised, he cut the WFA so he's attacked pensioners and now he wants to attack welfare...I actually don't disagree that welfare needs looing at but I bet the scroungers get away with it but the genuinely disabled take a hit. Or am I too cynical? |  | | |

"bollocks" is the correct word.
Climate change is a natural phenomenon. |  |

Lets have a talk about saving the world....lets put it in a remote part of Brazil and then we can destroy some protected forest to make sure we can all get there, even better we can destroy a farmers livelihood while we're at it...excellent idea.
Then there's all our aircrafts emissions too, that should smog the place up quite nicely. | | | |

There are times when they break the law but there are more times when they pollute within the rules. If it rains too much sewage is allowed to be discharged untreated, if storage capcity is reached it's the same. Outside of this they are prosecuted if they are caught. And that's a big if.
Farmers are allowed to spread waste over their land (within reason) this invariably ends up in rivers and the sea. The bottom line is that industrial scale farming results in industrial scale crap.
Fundamentally there are too many of us eating too much, too many fast food places and too many fat people. A McDonalds burger costs the environment far more than the 99p you can buy it with, milk should be more expensive than beer.
I'd happily do away with supermarkets, they are part of the problem. It would be far better for everyone if meat and dairy was only bought directly from farm shops. I try to do that but struggle with milk. It would be a lot more expensive but would be sustainable.
To improve the infrastructure woulds basically need every road in every town and city in the UK to be dug up and the sewage system replaced, followed by a new sewage works at the end of it. We could probably build HS2 many times for the cost. The main issue with this though is that the water companies are private, it wouldn't be the government paying for it it would be us through water bills. That's privitisation for you. | | | |
